• Keep. No evidence of COI presented. 158.59.127.132 (talk) 15:41, 31 August 2017 (UTC)[reply]

• Delete does not meet WP:NBOOK and part of an apparent walled garden around the author, Ying Chang Compestine. The "Keep" vote above is from a IP whose only contributions have been a few deletion discussions. K.e.coffman (talk) 03:43, 6 September 2017 (UTC)[reply]
• Keep I've added several reviews from reliable sources about the book to the article, passes NBOOK. I hope K.e.coffman will reconsider after seeing the new sources. Megalibrarygirl (talk) 18:54, 7 September 2017 (UTC)[reply]

• Keep The subject is notable, and the article is fine.TH1980 (talk) 02:52, 8 September 2017 (UTC)[reply]
• Keep per WP:NBOOK. Thanks for working on improving the article Megalibrarygirl. Hmlarson (talk) 04:41, 9 September 2017 (UTC)[reply]
• Keep, meets WP:NBOOK as has been reviewed by a number of independent sources (although some editors may be uncomfortable with kirkus that has gone very commercial recently(?) ie. accepting payments for (some?) reviews), have added a couple more reviews (horn book is extremely short), and has also received a number of awards even though they are not major ones (where are the wikiarticles on us state awards!:)), they could be seen as representing the impact of this book, oh also WorldCat, shows it being held by around 750 libraries including OZ, NZ, Singapore, so again showing the impact of this title.

• Redirect to the article on the author, Ying Chang Compestine. School Library Journal and Kirkus Reviews reviews are not in depth, and the walled garden / promotionalism are still a concern. K.e.coffman (talk) 19:11, 10 September 2017 (UTC)[reply]
